show a vulnerability during the night when they have nightmares. Jack indicates that they get nightmares when he says, “You said they dream and cry out. Now they talk-not only the littluns, but my hunters sometimes -talk of a thing, a dark thing, a beast, some sort of animal.”(Golding 89). This shows that not only the littluns but also some of the bigguns feel a sense of vulnerability at night since they have been getting repetitive nightmares solely based…

vulnerability is shown in this extract, when the beast points out that Simon is all alone, “There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast.” Since he is alone, with the beast, no one can help him, but also because this is a figment of his imagination, so no one else can see the beast apart from Simon. “Only me” is used as a minor sentence and it seems to be implying that he is the only one who can help him.

In Lord of the Flies, the destruction of social order is caused by the innate fear the boys develop in their thinking, actions and imagination.
